HOW TO MEASURE INGREDIENTS

Dry Ingredients

For dry ingredients, gently fill the measuring cup to heaping, using a large spoon. Do not shake the cup or pack down the
ingredients. While holding the cup over the canister or storage container to catch the excess of the ingredient, level the
cup off, using something with a straight edge, such as a knife, metal spatula or handle of a wooden spoon

Liquids

When measuring liquids, use the smallest measuring cup size you have that is large enough to hold the amount needed.
For example, to measure 1/2 cup milk, you'd use a 1-cup measuring cup instead of 2-cup measuring cup. Place the cup on a level
surface, then bend down to check the amount at eye level

Butter and Margarine in Sticks

Cut off the amount needed, following guideline marks on the wrapper, using a sharp knife.

How to Grease and Flour Pans

A correctly prepared cake pan keeps the cake from sticking. When making most scratch cakes, grease the side
and bottom of the pans and dust each with about 1 tablespoon flour, tapping out excess (check your recipe).
